Well guys this is going to be a topic that might surprise people but I was wondering that with pakistan being an islamic country and all that what prevents us from having isalmic laws that are easy to implement??
I mean some particular areas maybe difficult but what about the islamic punishments for major crimes?i.e.Zina,theft,murder etc.A punishment is only meted out after guilt has been established and we could use all the modern procedures to establish guilt of an accused person but when the time comes for punishment it should given according to islamic rules.This can be done using the modern legal system and courts in effect right now and without the need to establish seperate or parallel courts.
At this point I would like to raise another point,having used whatever procedures we might to establish the guilt of an accused person aren't we bound as muslims to give the punishment that Allah has set out in the Quran or the prophet(pbuh) in his sunnah??
Now for the final point and the main reason which has inspired me to post this topic right now
Yes it is all the 'Ehtisab' noise going out in pakistan right now? Do you guys think that nawaz sharif,benazir,zardari,and the other top corrupt people should all lose one hand each?I mean they are all muslims,aren't they?and isn't cutting of hand the punishment for stealing in islam?
Personally I think this kind of treatment would instantly result in a dramatic reduction of corruption in our society.At least the top levels.Politicians can take jail terms,even come out as heroes because of it,but none of them would dare losing a hand or two.This would work wonders especially with future politicians and beaurocrats.I think if government officials knew that they could lose a hand if they are caught they would think ten times before indulging in any financial impropreity.
This finally brings me back to the original question.Are we bound by islam to cut hands of people known to be theives.e.g.benazir,zardari,sharifs etc.
